the smiling faces you'll see when you visit...

Burns Tobacconist Team - Kim

general manager
brains & beauty of the operation

Kim McCoy

Kim has run the back office at Burns Tobacconist for over a decade, running the show and keeping everyone in line! She inputs the new products, orders replacements, processes special orders for customers, as well as works with vendors for special events, and makes sure the memberships get run every month.

If you are looking for something “extra special” and don’t see it in the humidor, chances are that Kim can get it for you!

He's forgotten more about cigars
then you ever knew

Charlie Bingham

Charlie is the most constant thing about Burns Tobacconist for over 15 years now. Customers and crew come and go, but people depend on Charlie’s smiling face being there week in and week out. The fact that he knows cigars so well doesn’t hurt, either!

Charlie is a lifelong resident of Chattanooga. If you ask the right questions, you’ll get to find out some interesting facts about this great city’s history.

You can find Charlie smoking something different almost every day, but when the cigar he’s burning is his own choice, you’ll probably find him with a Fuente Don Carlos, Padron 1964 Maduro, or Tatuaje Brown Label.

Burns Tobacconist Team - Randy

once a marine
always a marine

Randy Barber

Randy spent 25 years in the US Marine Corps, traveling the world, and protecting our freedoms. After that he settled down in the Chattanooga area and became a member of the one of the local police departments. 

When he finally retired from that second job he decided he wanted a “hobby” job…so now he is the Store Manager for Burns Tobacconist, where he makes sure the humidor is stocked, coordinates events with vendors, and takes care of most of the social media posting you see from us.

Randy’s favorite cigars all start with a “P” and end with “adron.”

Eye See What You Did There

Amos Bolden

Amos is a relatively new addition the crew…graduating just a couple years ago from “regular and faithful customer” to “full-fledged Burns team member.”

He has worked as an ophthalmic technician for over 30 years and pursues several fun hobbies in his free time, including photography, astronomy, and hiking.

Amos is an avid student of cigars, trying to absorb as much information every day as he can.

Micah

Still the new guy

Micah Miller

Have you met my friend Micah? He’s the newest member of the Burns family. When he’s not exploring all that is new and interesting in the world of cigars, you may well fine Micah out hiking, mountain biking…taking in the Chattanooga outdoors scene at its finest.
